COURSE OBJECTIVE:

To understand Architectural Design as a process of generating design brief and taking

design decisions based on the following aspects:

 Socio-Cultural Aspects: To introduce students to socio-cultural aspects like lifestyle,

culture, traditions, and their effect on architectural design etc.
 Aesthetics: To understand the Aesthetic aspects of Design (visual and experiential)
along with spatial attributes (scale and proportions, volume, texture, light and shadows,
etc.) and formal characteristics. (profile, base, corner, termination).
 Anthropometry & Function: To address functional aspects of design (activity, use of
space, adequacy and efficiency of space for a particular activity, essential adjacencies of
spaces, ease and efficiency of circulation, light, ventilation, user-space relationship,
vertical connections)
 Climate: To understand the Climatic aspects those have a bearing on architectural
design and address climatic concerns like adequate light, ventilation, protection from
rain, insulation, shading, heat gain, through passive strategies.
 Building Material and Construction Technology: To study relevance of various
building materials to a project, to get introduced to various expressions of a building
material, to introduce a student to the construction technologies relevant to the building
materials chosen, to understand the scope and limitations of a building technique to
achieve the desired form and space.
 Building Services: To understand the spatial and structural implications of basic
services involved in building design.
 Site : To understand the site and its context, both immediate and wider, in order to
enable students to take decisions of zoning, circulation within site, distribution of built
and open spaces, activity relationships and adjacencies, and views.
 Universal Design: To understand the concept and principles of universal design.
 Precedent Studies: To introduce the students to learn from case, referral, live studies -
process of observation, analysis, documentation and deriving inferences.
COURSE OUTLINE:

 Project 1 (Major Project): A design project that introduces the concept of site planning
with multiple built spaces with an area 1000 sq.m. to 1500 sq.m.. This project should house
a variety of core and allied activities requiring built, open, and transition spaces. The project
should explicitly address at least four aspects of the design decision variables from those
listed in course objectives.
 Project 2 (Minor Project): The students must undergo a Settlement study / study tour in a
region with which is different in terms of socio geographic characteristics than the place
where the institute is located.A short term project or eskee based in the settlement the
students have studied.

SESSIONAL WORK:

 Project 1 (Major Project): The student must represent the identification of core design
aspect, formulation of design approach and development, and the final design outcome
through architectural drawings along with a narrative and representative details of
construction. Along with the drawings, the student must develop the design through a
series of models/ 3D visualizations made at various stages.
Design deliverables -
i. Portfolio A - Architectural drawings and model at an appropriate scale
ii. Portfolio B - Process drawings / tracings (Recommended)
iii. Study models of various stage (Recommended)
 Project 2 (Minor Project): The Study Tour documentationcovering details from whole to
part and must include narratives, sketches, scale drawings, photographs. It may additionally
have information presented in any other formats in addition to the ones mentioned above.
The short term project or eskeeto be presented in form of drawings to explain the scheme.

COURSE OUTCOME :

 At the end of the course the student is equipped to take design decisions by considering
various aspects and methodically evolve a design where two or more buildings are to be
planned on a site and communicate it in form of 2D and 3D representations.
